For Schools

Our programs provide learning opportunities for students and professional development workshops for educators. We provides the unique opportunity to experience agriculture hands-on in an urban environment. Through research-based methods and curriculum, we develop life skills while inspiring conscious food consumers.

School Field TripsConnect your students to the classroom learning concepts through hands-on exploration and place-based experiences on the farm. Explore pre- and post-visit extensions and experience farm school collaboration at its best.

The goal of the financial aid committee is to provide as many individuals, families, and schools as possible with the opportunity to enrich learning and broaden their experiences by time spent on the farm. Funding is limited and applications are reviewed based on the needs of the participants, potential impact on their learning, cost of the program, and the potential for meaningful collaboration.

MSU Tollgate Education Center offers partial scholarships for eligible individuals and groups thanks to the help of the Americana Foundation and individual and corporate sponsors. Interested in donating to our financial aid fun? Please contact mathismi@anr.msu.edu
